well there yall go...i am so glad i did it! but things have changed since then again...notice the horrible rusty frame? i painted that finally along with the driveshaft and the rear axle. so now it doesnt look as bad. in the one picture i had just painted where the welds were so they would rust cause i didnt know how long it would be til i painted it. and i love how much room is in the engine now...i can actually get my hand to the back 2 cylinders. haha

so i guess it is supposed to rain all this weekend so i dont know when i will get more pictures up but i want to get some of the painted frame...it really does make it look so much better. and i painted all the torsion bars the the front suspension stuff...ohh and the gas tank cause it stuck out like a sore thumb under the frame rails so its black also now.

so anyways let me know what yall think of it now.

and im workin on getting the brush guard back on it.

Well right now im kinda hoping Interco will add some more tires to the Ground Hawg line. A 48" Ground Hawg would be awesome. But i really doubt Interco has suck plans
